Now it’s the turn of the famous Red Arrows
to face the axe of New Labour in the latest round of defence cuts demanded by the terminator Gordon Brown. What’s up with them they are Red in colour and not the Conservative Blue. I wouldn’t mind that much if the money that was saved from axing the Red Arrows went to the RAF but it will probably go towards the wicked witches new hair do or a new Jag for Prescott. What’s next the axing of trooping the colour. They will all go down in history as traitors. Read it here
Just had an idea how we can save the Red Arrows they can fly around the world pulling banners advertising honours for sale!

PTSD CLAIMS ANOTHER FALKLANDS VETERAN
A Report for BBC World Service “Calling the Falklands” by Ben Koen (BK) 11/11/05
Over two decades on it appears the Falklands War has claimed another victim. Michael Quinn died in June of a drug overdose after suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. Mr. Quinn was a former gunner in the Royal Artillery and had witnessed the gunning of the Sir Galahad. The Coroner, John Hughes had recorded an open verdict and he said that Michael had been exposed to the most terrible privations of war. Before his death, however, the consensus of opinion was that Mr. Quinn’s condition had generally improved. This was thanks to his treatment in Ty Gwyn, a nursing home for servicemen suffering from PTSD in North Wales. Ironically Ty Gwyn has closed in the last two weeks. That’s alongside a number of changes in the way the treatment and care is administered for ex-servicemen in the UK. I spoke earlier to Dr. Morgan O’Connell (MO), who worked as a consultant psychiatrist in the Falklands Conflict, who has been a pioneer in the treatment of people with PTSD. I started by asking about this term, PTSD and how it’s understood now-a-days.
